Eco Pond is a freshwater pond located just west of the Flamingo Visitor Center near the end of the road at Florida Bay in the Everglades. A half-mile trail loops around the pond and provides numerous opportunities to view wildlife including a variety of birds. This was the perfect place to get out and stretch our legs for a bit.
